It's the 1960s all over again. Hamas is operating as a guerilla group. Basically like the VC in the 60s. Plain clothes, hiding among residents in plain sight, using tunnels. And yet Israel keeps bombing hospitals and other civilians to try to get a single Hamas commander, for example. If they had called a halt several weeks/months ago, they might have spun it that they were the good guys that didn't want civilian suffering to continue. But now they've been drawn into a whack-a-mole situation where they won't get everyone (impossible), and public perception will continue to worsen (which means they lose).

They should learn from us. We did it in Vietnam, and again in Afghanistan. Also, Russia (USSR) learned it in Afghanistan. Lots of examples, but apparently Israel thinks "this time will be different". No, it won't.
